Detail of the railroad survey map<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nBefore proceeding, I should point out that the survey map as shown in the detail above indicates \u201a\u00c4\u00faRobert Abbott\u201a\u00c4\u00f9 on part of the tannery property owned by Henry Lawshe. In my previous article, I focused on Jonathan Dilts, who ran the tannery for awhile. I stayed away from Robert Abbott because he was causing me problems. However, he will appear in the next article in this series, living in another location<\/p>\n

\n<\/em><\/strong>Cramer Survey: \u201a\u00c4\u00faI. H. Moore: 96 acres, 600 bearing peach trees, 300 baskets of peaches, uses Penna RR, 600 young peach trees, 2 tons of coal, 1.25 tons of fertilizer, 420 cans of milk, 6 calves sold, 750 lb of poultry, 1,000 lb of pork, 15 bushels of apples<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\nThe map detail shows Isaiah Moore\u201a\u00c4\u00f4s property toward the top. Although he was listed as a landowner, I suspect the only part of his property that the rail line would cross was his access lane to Route 523, as his farm was to the north of land owned by Charles Green. That is also the case with the next owner listed, John H. Gordon.<\/p>\n
Isaiah H. Moore (1815-1885) was the son of David Moore, Sr. and Elizabeth Hudnut (see Moore Family Tree<\/a>). His name is often spelled Isaiah A. Moore, but since his mother\u201a\u00c4\u00f4s maiden name was Hudnut or Hudnit, \u201a\u00c4\u00faH\u201a\u00c4\u00f9 seems more likely.<\/p>\nHe grew up in the area where the Sandbrook Headquarters Road meets the road from Sergeantsville to Ringoes (i.e., Route 604). In 1837, he married Mary Lake, daughter of Cornelius Lake and Lydia Haines. Lydia Haines (1780-1856) was the daughter of Joseph Haines and Anna Moore, a family that lived near David & Elizabeth Moore. She was the second wife of Cornelius Lake.
